Polio Funds at the Mission Market
We had a great night at the Mission Market August 5! We had nine volunteers, sold 132 beers, raised an additional $60 in donations, saw some old friends, met some new friends and we think we might have met our newest member! (Stay tuned!) It was a perfect summer night with great visibility for the club, a much needed chance for club members to catch up and we raised some great funds for the fight against polio! Count it as a win!
 
Plan Ahead for Your Summer with Rotary
First Wednesday of the Month:  Rotary on the Road
 
Second Wednesday of the Month:  In person planning session + board meeting @ Milburn.  Until we are back up and running, we will use this meeting for fellowship and planning.  We’d like to encourage everyone to attend and participate as we make plans to move forward post Covid.   We will also introduce “Stoney’s Corner”.  Stoney will provide an update on business happenings in the northeast corridor.
 
Third Wednesday of the Month:  Service project.   We are setting aside time each month for a community service project in lieu of a regular meeting.  These projects may fall on an evening or weekend.  We plan to announce these as soon as they are scheduled to allow as many as possible to help. 
 
Fourth Wednesday Month:  Guest speaker + lunch in person @ Milburn
 
Fifth Wednesday if applicable:  Gather for lunch somewhere in Mission or social gathering after work
Because of the holiday in July and some events already on our calendar, we won’t follow the new plan exactly for the first month. 
 
Scheduled events:
 
Friday, September 17th Harvesting Hope Fundraiser (5-7:30 pm):  benefit for Growing Futures @ Shawnee Mission Theater in the Park.
 
 
Harvesting Hope Fundraiser
 
This year, Growing Future Early Education Center is hosting a "Harvesting Hope" fundraiser at Shawnee Mission Theatre in the Park. There will be live music, a craft market, dinner, beer, wine, games, a raffle, and more. There are opportunities for volunteer groups to help out at the event. We are targeting the 5:00-7:30 p.m. shift. This will be hosting the games, bar, running ice, selling tickets, etc.
 
 
I know some schedules will change between now and then, but they are asking for names of volunteers now. If you think you will be interested in volunteering, please let Emily Randel know and she will add your name to our volunteer form.
